Bonnaroo fest in Manchester, Tennessee began this afternoon, launching a weekend that is set to feature music from Paul McCartney, Animal Collective, Wilco, Björk, Kendrick Lamar, Cat Power, Grizzly Bear, Beach House, and many, many more. Unfortunately, Earl Sweatshirt is no longer performing because he is sick.

Earl wrote on Twitter, "To everyone at bonnaroo: im sorry i cant make it im really really fucking sick but i will make it up to tennessee as soon as i possibly can". In addition to a solo set, he was scheduled to take part in the festival's first-ever hip-hop Superjam tomorrow alongside Solange, RZA, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Schoolboy Q, the Neptunes' Chad Hugo, funk band Lettuce, and "special guests".

DIIV also noted on Twitter that their flights out of New York to Tennessee were cancelled, due to weather, and as a result the band missed their set today. They'll play a rescheduled Bonnaroo set tomorrow at 4 p.m., which was supposed to be Earl Sweatshirt's set time.
